EQUIPMENT

Doctor’s Kit 50gp 5lbs
A doctor’s kit is usually several instruments such as surgical scalpels, mask, gloves, chisels and hammer, bone saw, and several other implements that would lead some to believe that the individual is mad. Bandages, medicines and other such items can also be found. With this kit a healer can attempt to remove lingering wound effects.

Tower Shields add +3 to armour class but impose disadvantage to stealth and acrobatics checks, slow movement and cannot be used while mounted.
